Port description
by MTiVi＠google 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

Hello, all! If I use port description like "Peering: something [40Mbit]" how can I use speed in Observium? Does interface speed (from IfAlias) saved to DB? I expect that I can see traffic graph and select scale to this speed. http://observium.org/docs/port_descr_parsing/

Making an alert for mapped interfaces
by Heston Kan 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

Hey All, I want to create an alert if any interface between two managed/discovered devices in Observium. This includes switchers and routers, servers...etc. I'd also like these to be based on Observium's device Mapping that is available per device. In the checker conditions I'd put hostname matches * but under the checker device and entity association. There's no entity for mapped devices whether it be via CDP/LLDP or detected from observium itself. Perhaps I'm missing the obvious. Thanks! Heston

19 Jul '16

Hello all, I have two instances of Observium running with two different hostnames. One is Community and one is the Subscription version. My Community version on is showing storage correctly. My Subscription version is not. All the partitions are showing as 100% free and green when I know / can't be 0bytes as well as all other partitions. Is this a bug?

How does SYSLOG Alerting work?
by Сережка Хомяков 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Hello! Thanks for higly awaited feature with SYSLOG alerting! Just playing with it, I was unable to make it working (of course, with knowledge of PCRE). The example of my test Alert was based on *SYS-5-CONFIG_I:Configured* message from IOS router. Can you advice on how the regexp should look like and how does SYSLOG Alerter work - on a poll or triggered on a log receipt? -- Best, Sergey

alert 'time of recovery' reports recovery of previous recovery...
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Hello This was touched upon in another discussion but as a sidetrack no solution was found. Pretty much all my alerts 'time or recovery' reports the time of this entities PREVIOUS recovery. So the time reported are always pretty bonkers. I can see that with the help of timestamp on the emails , slack notifications and the timestamp of previous recovery. And for the very first recovery of a device/sensor the duration is list as "unknown". Any idea of what's going on and what I can kick on to make it work properly? =) Cheers and thanks -- Henrik Cednert cto | compositor Filmlance International | www.filmlance.se mobile [ + 46 (0)704 71 89 54 ] skype [ cednert ]

Tripp-lite UPS Alerts

I’m trying to set up alerting for our tripplite when it goes on battery. I cannot get it to work properly for some reason. Entity Type: Status Check Conditions: upsOutputSource.0 ne normal Device Match: os eq poweralert Entity Match: * Observium Version: 0.16.7.7983 (professional) -A debug from observium yields a value of: upsOutputSource.0 = normal (the normal changes to state of “Battery” when on battery) -Even if I change my check conditions to eq normal to test the alert it does not trigger an alert. -I also tried check conditions of * and that did not help. Also we lost power and the event log showed the following: -Also tried just upsOutputSource (without the .0) Source of Output Power<http://epsobservium.isd273.org/device/device=337/tab=health/metric=status/i…> Status Alert: hs-6509-ups.isd273.org Source of Output Power entered ALERT state: battery (previous: normal) Any help would be appreciated -Tom

Toner History Graphs
by Richard Franks 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

I have a bit of an odd one. I have two printers in my observium install. One has been in for ages (an HP laser jet), the other I added a couple of weeks ago (A sharp MFD photocopier thingy). By the looks of things, the HP has been collecting data correctly for ages, and graphing it nicely. I can see the pretty line that shows that the toner has reduced over time. Oddly, it stopped collecting on the 7th July, and hasn’t graphed anything since then. The Sharp, which has been in less time (since Thursday 7th), has never graphed its toner properly. They are both showing the correct level of toner (well, the Sharp is showing two of them at -3, but I’ve checked the snmp output, and it’s returning -3, so that’s nothing to do with observium). Even more weirdly, the toner level on the weekly graph is showing the correct number. The rest show -nan% The Sharp: The HP: I don’t know much about how the graphing side of things works, so I don’t have much knowledge with which to do any debugging, but happy to send more debug info if required! Thanks, Richard

Incorrect free physical memory for Unix hosts
by Oliver Baker 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

Hi, Loving Observium in general but the only issue I'm having is that for all our Unix-like hosts the free memory is reported too literally to be useful. The cached memory pool is included in the "used memory" count, causing almost all our hosts to appear as having less than 5% free physical memory. Is there a way to get free memory not including the cached memory pool? Currently the alert checker I'm using is flagging all our hosts as "out of memory" Many thanks in advance Oliver B

Arch -> extension (since 16.04 upgrade)
by Robert Williams 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

Hi, Just completed a release upgrade on Observium itself (14.04 to 16.04) and now it is reporting its own architecture as 'extension'. Wouldn't be an issue really, but every single time it polls it updates the event log like this: I've attached a debug output of the poller as this may help to track it down. Interestingly, a lot of our other servers run 16.04 now but it only reports this for 'itself' - not the others. Anyone have any ideas? Cheers!

poller-wrapper.py does not run, but poller.php does
by Chrys Thorsen 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Hi Guys, Newbie here. I just installed the latest version of Observium (subscription) onto Ubuntu 14. It discovered my Cisco router, 15 Cisco switches, and 4 Microsoft servers no problem. HOWEVER, poller-wrapper.py does not run. Days later, still no polling. I have this line in /etc/cron.d/observium: */5 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 16 >> /dev/null 2>&1 If I manually run /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py I get this error: "ERROR: Could not load or parse observium configuration, are PATHs correct?" If I manually run poller.php, all the devices get polled just fine. I don't have a PATH statement in crontab. I can add one, but I'm not sure exactly what to add. I also notice that Joe Snijder's post says the syntax should have the word "python" after "root". Does that make a difference? Please help! Thanks, Chrys -- Chrys Thorsen Director of Technology and Training

ID of graph changes and "jumps" between storage on server
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Hello I have an issue that bugs the heck out of me. Not sure exactly what's going on but in short: First of all, when I write ID I mean the ID in the url when looking at the graph for a storage attached to a server. Like "....//graphs/to=1467822524/id=219/type=storage_usage/from=1467736124/" where the ID is 219. The storage I monitor on this OSX server is connected via iSCSI, NFS, SNFS and Avid ISIS. What happens is that when rebooting or if a storage is disconnected and reconnected the above mentioned ID changes. Not alway but very often and it gives some odd subsequent errors like alert checkers being triggered for the wrong storage. Which I don't know how it's even possible since I assume they're not based on ID in the background? But on these two screenshots an alert was triggered for a storage not in the alert checker. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ttr7b86hv28pnp/alertChecker01.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/th7rqel88pntpvl/alertChecker02.png It also messes with the minigraphs on the front page since they're hardcoded to an ID. An ID that can have gone missing or changed... It also seems messes with the graphs since in some situations looks like it can get stuck in a mode where wrong storage are monitored and graphed into another storages graph. Real odd and not sure that's really whats going on or if it's snmpd on the server that reports wrong. But it's timed with reboot and or the other isses above. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rdrhetew8nod09o/graphID01.png Have any one had similar issues? Cheers and thanks -- Henrik Cednert cto | compositor Filmlance International | www.filmlance.se mobile [ + 46 (0)704 71 89 54 ] skype [ cednert ]

Problems getting Interface stats (IF-MIB)
by Andre Geißler 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Hi For some reason getting interface statistics stopped about 3 weeks ago for some devices. I'm updating observium every day so problem exists for several versions. Affected are only 2 of around a dozen Cisco ASAs. I cannot see this problem on other device types. Under device' MIB properties I can see request timeouts for " *ifInMulticastPkts.18 ifOutMulticastPkts.18 ifInBroadcastPkts.18 ifOutBroadcastPkts.18 ifHCInOctets.18 ifHCOutOctets.18 ifHCInUcastPkts.18 ifHCOutUcastPkts.18 ifHCInMulticastPkts.18 ifHCOutMulticastPkts.18 ifHCInBroadcastPkts.18 ifHCOutBroadcastPkts.18 ifInOctets.18 ifOutOctets.18 ifInUcastPkts.18 ifOutUcastPkts.18 ifInNUcastPkts.18 ifOutNUcastPkts.18 ifInDiscards.18 ifOutDiscards.18 ifInErrors.18 ifOutErrors.18 ifInUnknownProtos.18 ifMtu.18 ifSpeed.18 ifPhysAddress.18 ifAdminStatus.18 ifLastChange.18 ifPromiscuousMode.18 ifConnectorPresent.18" All other values can be read without any problem.* When doing snmpget manually there is also no problem. No difference when using snmp v2c or v3. Any idea or advice? Thanks, Andre **

How to give permissions to view a device
by Tobias Vlasblom 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Hello, I want to give access to a specific device to a specific observium user. This user should not see the other devices that are being monitored by observium. I have created the new user as a normal user (level 1). As expected, when I log into observium this user has access to nothing. My question: where do I configure what devices that this user should have access to? Or where in the device configuration do I configure what users may access the device? I apologize if the answer to this question is obvious and I missed it while googling. Thanks in advance, Tobias

Alert check on custom IOD / Customers and L2TP
by Grégory TRAN 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Hello, Observium is a great tool and I'm still getting my hands on it. I've encountered the following issues and hope somebody can help me : 1) I'm trying to do an alert check on custom IOD but haven't found how to specify this in the check conditions. Is there's any way to do this ? 2) I activate the Customers and L2TP in the config.php file and I'm trying to make it work. Do you have any more informations about how to configure my equipments ? I manage to configure Transit by specifying "transit" on the port and it works great. A colleague of mine told me that there used to be a wiki page about this before but it seems it's not online anymore. Thank you for taking the time to help me. -- Greg

Google maps API
by Tii 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

My first mail, please forgive me if I'm doing this incorrectly. Have Observium running wonderfully on Rpi 3. Got a Google Maps Api key. Where do I put it? Looked in the HTML/JS folder but struggling a bit. Also, and I suspect these are typical of newbies (although I'm monitoring a few servers just fine), what settings recommended for monitoring a shared website host? Either by IP address or URL? Much appreciated, Tiisetso (South Africa)

overview page of Historical availability of specific alertcheckers
by Bastiaan Topper 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

Hello, Is there a way to get an overview page of the status of all the historical availability graphs of a specific alert type? So for example a page with all the DeviceDown alert type checks, with per device the row of graphs of the historical availability of the check. And preferably filtered by the devices in a group. For example, something looking like this: [cid:image001.png@01D1D1F7.867E5A90] What I try to achieve is an overview of the availability of devices for a specific group (for example a customer). Kind regards, Bastiaan Topper
